Euh... I took it from the doc itself. See `C-h v org-capture-templates':

    [...]

    Apart from these general escapes, you can access information specific to
    the link type that is created. For example, calling `org-capture' in
    emails or gnus will record the author and the subject of the message,
    which you can access with "%:author" and "%:subject", respectively.
